Black History Month is a common time to see book lists and book reviews focused on Black History and African-American perspectives.
Here is something a little different from the editors at Scalawag Magazine, a “journalism and storytelling organization that illuminates dissent, unsettles dominant narratives, pursues justice and liberation, and stands in solidarity with marginalized people and communities in the South.”
As you can see from this partial list of included articles, this collection is definitely worth checking out.
